While working hard in class Dustin and Devin noticed a very large moth trying to get out of the classroom. Before helping it outside to safety, we took a picture, WOW!
Congratulations! You have compacted out of Chapter 4, Tectonic Plates. Now it’s time to dig deep into what you already know. You’re gonna dig deep into the makeup of our planet by completing a webquest with the knowledge you already posess! Follow the link below, follow the directions of the teacher and the webquest page, and have fun!
Students have been working for quite some time on making their own movies. What better topic than waves! Check out their amazing movie making skills!
Students are currently studying the nature of light. We’ve learned that light travels in waves, it can be refracted (bent) into all of the different colors of the spectrum, and how lenses work to refract light so that images can be seen more clearly. As you can see, we’re greatly benefitting from this new found knowledge! Enjoy 
Our school is a safe and learning rich environment with plenty of activities and exercises that stimulate the brain, motivate the body, and promote creativity. It’s great to know that all the hard work pays off. As you can see here, creativity is abound!
MCMS is filled with talented students. Whether it’s our awesome band members, incredible Quiz Bowl, super athletes, or academic heroes, our school is a source of great pride. But our school isn’t just the building we come to each day to learn, our school is also on the World Wide Web! In an effort to connect with one of our talented students who is on the road chasing more National Championships in motorcross, we are going to take the classroom to Cooper, our cyber student for the next several weeks. We are going to pose some questions dealing with topics and activities we’re completing in the classroom and hopefully we can begin an online conversation regarding Science topics. So… here we go, I’ll post a question for Cooper to answer and when he submits his answer, the question will open up for classroom students to reply with their thoughts on Cooper’s answer. The first question is:
If sound waves travel at the same speed through the air no matter how loud or soft they are, does sound travel faster or slower under water? Write a paragraph explaining your thoughts and reasons for your answer! We look forward to hearing your answer by Friday, March 14 so that we can reply!
In a time when energy is a large topic of conversation and gas prices are at a premium. One student has an alternative that just might be the next best thing in saving money for energy. Oh yeah, it’s environmentally safe as well. Check out Zach’s project here:
Have you ever tried to put an egg into a bottle using matches? Some 7th grade students were given the challenge, check out what happened:
In Chapter 13 we covered a lot of ground and used a lot of energy to do it. Now it’s time to have fun with the energy knowledge we’ve aquired. Please visit the site below to go through some interesting simulations! When you’re finished, feel free to leave a comment on your experience (Ms. Sippel’s class welcome!).
Our Halloween was very busy this year! Costumes, decorations, and a Crime Scene!! Students spent time in Science class attempting to gather evidence to solve a mysterious crime. Here’s a movie to help see what we did:
